Balance (The Divine, Book One) Read Online Free PDF

hanging over the center of the room, found a comfy looking box to sit on
in the back corner of the small space, flipped the phone over to face me, and
opened the 'Landon' app again, pressing on 'Guide' in the menu.

    What
is written here has been collected through over five hundred years of
exhaustive research, along with a number of interviews conducted by Mr. Ross,
and through direct verbal interviews with Miss Charis Stone, the first true
diuscrucis to be granted access to the mortal realm. Miss Stone’s first hand experience is the most vital part of this guide, as it
will give you a common insight into what it means to be what you are, and to
take on the responsibility that you have. Read these words and take heed in
every message contained within. Do not expect that being Awake will be easy. It
is a difficult yet rewarding existence.
     The
assumption has been made that you have already read the rules, and are hiding
out somewhere safe so that you can read this guide. In order for you to be
prepared to survive the coming days, you must learn to control the universe
around you. This will not be an easy task, but I believe you will find it most
beneficial.
    You
may be wondering what this means. When you were in Purgatory you had the
ability to change your surroundings at your will, although only subconsciously.
You hold this same power in the mortal realm, albeit to a lesser degree. How
much less, I cannot say. Your ultimate strength rests within yourself. Since
you are still wearing clothes, you have your first physical proof of this
power.
    To
control it, you must above all things believe in it. This is not a simple task,
as you must let go of every natural law that you have ever learned or
experienced. These laws do not apply directly to the Divine, as the Divine
originated from the Creator to help guide the world He created. This does not
mean you will be able to fly, or walk through walls, or any such nonsense
because abuse of these laws can have catastrophic consequences on the fabric of
the universe that you are manipulating. The more you push, the more resistance
you will encounter. You do not have unlimited resources. You will become
fatigued and could lose consciousness if you push too hard, leaving yourself
open to your enemies, of which there are many.
    Read
this first exercise, then close the Guide and practice it. Once you are able to
succeed in producing the desired effect, move on to the next page. Do not give
up, no matter how difficult it may seem.

    I
turned off the phone and put it in my pocket. After what I had been through
already, how hard could it be to reject the laws of nature? Was there any
reason I couldn't make it rain? At the same time, it just felt silly.
    I
closed my eyes and tried to relax, but even that proved difficult. I didn't
feel like I was any different now than I had been before. True, I had just
hiked down the Statue of Liberty without a sweat, but that was physical. I
opened my eyes and focused on a spot just in front of me. Rain! Nothing
happened. Rain! No dice. Dante had known this wasn't going to be easy. Anyway,
what else did I have to do while I waited for daybreak?
    "Rain,"
I said out loud. I felt a small touch in my mind, as if I was actually using my
brain as a muscle to physically push something. Nothing happened. I concentrated
on that feeling, tried to duplicate it. Nothing. I took a deep breath and
started over, closing my eyes and slowing my breathing. When I opened them, I
was face to face with a vampire.
    Her
face was only inches from mine. Her fangs were bared in the scariest, most
malicious smile I had ever seen. She had come out of nowhere, and hadn't made
the slightest sound. Her skin was a lifeless white, her hair and eyes black.
